    which is interesting pattern we are seeing in some markets.

    while the force is really too much for most people to handle, the duoforce is an excellent racket and i wish more people can get their hands on it.

    Agreed...

    And I haven't seen a site like this that carries only one brand.

    Well, I haven't had it strung yet so I am not sure how it feels when play. It feels solid holding and dry swinging around and is definitely head heavy. If you like head heavy racket, it is the one. I will have it strung and play on the weekend. Not sure if it's matter to you but it is made in China not Japan. Here are some pics: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...310.1073741825.100001950851257&type=3&theater

    Could someone let me know of the Adidas Badminton email address please? I know I can contact them through Facebook/Twitter but I would prefer an email if it's possible.

    Support@racketsportsusa.com is the email at USA.

    Just bought Adipower tour, Adiprecision tour, Adizero pro & tour. I will try my best to describe my feeling after using it. Hope it helps for the rest.

    There is no Adidas badminton homepage/email (yet, afaik) other than your local distributor ones (as above) which probably is not around yet for Cyprus ...

    For the dutchies, I just read Holland is taken care of by the German one: SportArt3 :cool: (probably missed reading it before)

    "Ab 2013 präsentiert das Unternehmen adidas Badminton als Weltneuheit.
    Die SPORTART 3 ist hier verantwortlich für die Länder Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz, Luxemburg, Holland und Polen."

    Awesome. Could you give a description for the the adipower tour feel? Curious as I'm looking into more doubles based rackets that Adidas offers?

    Just received my Adipower Pro last night, yippieeee...!!!
    Dry swings feels good, it's not as head-heavy as I expected since the BP doesn't go as tall as my 2U Arc Z-Slash. The frame is very thick and rather bulky, looks much more durable compared to any hi-end Yonex rackets. The shaft has a decent stiffness, I would say it feels close to MX-JJS or MX-London.
    I like the colors and graphics, it looks very "gothic" and "out of this world" unlike those rackets on the market nowadays.
    However, the workmanship/build quality seems a bit behind on a closer inspection. Some grommets are not properly trimmed leaving sharp edges, and the paint jobs in between the stripes and its base are not neatly done.
    Anyway, I think it's enough of talking. I will get it strung and do some test-drive in a real world to see how it goes on the court :D

    i requested Adipower Tour as well as Precision Pro and they should be sent out to me soon. Adidas is pretty efficient.

    I didn't request too many as I want to be able to make it manageable, it is a lot of work to string, test, re-test and write each review.

    I asked for Adipower Tour because so many of you requested it and Precision Pro because I want to test out the top of the line from Precision as well.

    I will work on other models as I have these reviews done.

    Thanks, kwun! I'll have a chance to hold some adidas rackets myself tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see how your impressions compare to mine :) Adipower tour is high on my list to try, as are the adipower pro and precision 88...let's see how lucky I am :D

    If you get a chance to try out the Duoforce, please post your impressions of the racket afterward. I'm keen to hear your impression of the Adipower Pro and Tour as well. :)
